Just out of Curiosity (mainly for women)

[tsshields]

Just out of Curiosity how many women actually have snakes and actually take care of them, breed them, etc. You always go on these sites or other sites thinking not to many women are going to be doing this hobby/business but the more im on the more I notice there is quite alot of females interested in this hobby/business which is great because the more the better but I was just wondering how many took it seriously.

I keep an assortment of reptiles. I am the sole maintainer of my animals and I also got into the hobby on my own.

Despite the stereotype, women make up a pretty large percentage of this hobby!

ME ME ME!

My boyfriend is really into them too and we live together, but I do most of the cage clean up, feeding, ect. He helps out a lot though, which I really appreciate, as we have so many to care for.

My girlfriend does. None of her animals are up to breeding size, but after seeing how much fun this hobby is, she made the decision to start off with rainbow boas and panther chameleons It's been awesome, I've helped her out with reptile care and she's helped me out with tropical plant care. Together we've put together some awesome planted vivariums.

As far as women in the hobby goes, I see plenty of women both attending and vending at reptile shows.

If you look at species such as geckos and tortoises, you'll find that it's quite likely that women in fact OUTNUMBER men when it comes to keeping/breeding.
